With the Arnold Sports Festival taking place this weekend, creator Arnold Schwarzenegger has become a hot Web topic for a different reason: He was seen having dinner last weekend in a Santa Monica, Calif., restaurant with Heather Milligan, a 38-year-old physical therapist.

With the Arnold Sports Festival taking place this weekend, creator Arnold Schwarzenegger has become a hot Web topic for a different reason: He was seen having dinner last weekend in a Santa Monica, Calif., restaurant with Heather Milligan, a 38-year-old physical therapist.

The two left together in his car, said the photographer who snapped their picture at Babalu, and were spotted driving in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles the next day.

Schwarzenegger is supposedly still hoping to salvage his marriage to Maria Shriver in the wake of admitting he fathered a child with their housekeeper.

The dinner and drive could have been all business: Milligan is used to dealing with celebrities; she has many NFL players as clients. She won’t talk about her time with the former California governor, a receptionist at her workplace in Los Angeles told the Daily News of New York.

On Tuesday, Milligan removed from her Twitter feed a July tweet that wished Schwarzenegger a happy birthday and thanked him for “inspiring so many.”
